fuck throwing my phone away, i want to live in the woods with some portable solar panels and a power station supplying my electricity.

I fucking love that we live in a time where you can live off-grid but actually have genuinely great quality of life, i often think about the feasibility of going modern nomad with an e-bike with a little trailer with a power station and high-efficiency solar panels on top, going from town to town just buying a bit of food at the store and tenting in the forest (hooray right to roam).
You could easily power a phone and a small laptop and a bunch of other stuff, hell at this point you could even have a fucking induction hotplate! You don't even need to carry around fuel any more!

    watch them instantly pivot their entire world view to "oh well that means neanderthals were better actually and i'm proud of my glorious neanderthal heritage because it makes me stronger and smarter. We should try to breed out the homo sapien genes actually"

    now that i think about it, in the actual story it feels perfectly in character for legolas to constantly point things out that everyone else is aware of, because he knows they have worse senses and overcompensates.

    "the enemy approaches" yes thank you legolas we can see that.
    "right, yes. sorry.."
